Taiwan Trip Day 2 - 14 May 2008

Xi Men Ding Station in the morning..

An interesting sight.. Rows of motorcycles along the road..

Breakfast shop selling Dan4 Bing3 n burgers n toasts n carrot cake.. all of them are delicious! My fav. breakfast shop over there.. within walking distance from our hotel.

After eating breakfast, we started our long walk to the train station to buy tic for our hualian trip on day 4. Actually it's a 15mins walk but we keep stopping along the way.. n I'm hungry again.. so we bot doramon food to eat! Really nice too! *yummy*

Finally we see the train station..

Then we took their mrt to Beitou to change to bus to Yang Ming Shan..

I've finally reached the foot of Yang Ming Shan!!! Yeah!

Yang Ming Shan - a dormant volcano.. quiet n serene..

The beautiful scenery..

One of the scenic spot at Xiao You Keng.. where there's a strong sulphur smell.. check out the water boiling n the yellow sulphur..

This spot also make good photo background.. It's really cold n we are not dressed for the coldness.. we all wore shorts.. coz we needed to do some trekking n after that going hot spring. But I guess we should have worn jeans instead.

Shuqin n me.. *hugz*

Jumping Free!

I managed to capture shuqin n yuwen in the air on the 1st attempt and it was such as nice shot!So decided to do the same w zihui but it's real hard to take a nice shot of us high up in e air.. so we practically jumped alot of times up and down.. really dumb!

Artistic Shot.. Hiding in the bushes.. Leonard posing that he's taking a photo n Zihui squatting down.. Haha.. =p

The Wind is really strong.. after a few unsuccessful shots, we managed to take a nice shot. :)

It's so windy up there n Leonard still climb up to stand so high.. Luckily he's heavy.. if I climb up, the wind will surely blow me away.. Guess Leonard muz be feeling "I'm on top of the world!!" at that instant..

Hot Spring Session.. *twigz* Feeling refreshed after the 1hr session of hot, cold, jacuzzi, sauna combo.. my skin feels really smooth n tender. It's a totally new experience because we went for the naked one.. completely naked!!! When e hot water surrounds u, the feeling is like inside a mother's womb I feel.. n it's a nice feeling because the temp. outside is quite cold. Initially I was quite hesitant to go for it because I've to strip naked tog w my frens.. but after it, I think it kinda bonded us tog.. haha.. so now Zihui saw me completely naked already!!!

The hot spring resort we went to.. Jap style..

Group Photo after the Hot Spring..

Dinner at Xi Men Ding before going back to hotel to change n get ready for clubbing.. Haha.. I realized I like to 3/4 squat in grp photos.. LOL.. dunno why subconsciously I'll just pose like that.. funny now that I realized it.
